Media Matters notes how quickly Trump has been offered support from top Dems, like Bernie Sanders

Despite his public statements throughout the campaign season and his rallies on Hillary Clinton’s behalf, you could argue that Sen. Bernie Sanders has given a lot of support to Donald Trump, the way he allowed himself to be kneecapped by the Democratic National Committee and all.

On Monday, it appeared that Sanders had crossed the aisle to work with the president, saying he could work with Trump on trade.

Of course, the route Sanders takes to cross the aisle is a little wayward, seeing as he’s an Independent, not a Democrat. Die-hard Bernie supporters (and detractors who blame him for undercutting Hillary Clinton) don’t really like it when that distinction is glossed over, as it appeared to be when Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert cited The Hill’s piece on Sanders as an example of Democrats offering the bipartisan support that Barack Obama never enjoyed.
